I have an HP 110 Mini I tried to turn on my netbook but all I get is information telling me to "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" but I can only select one boot device. However, this device doesn't seem to be working, because I just continue to get the same screen. It's "Network: Atheros Boot Agent" and it's the only one listed. I don't have a CD drive. Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue with out having to take to someone?

Most likely, your hard drive died. Enter the system BIOS to see what it is detecting (or not) for your hard drive(s). If the hard drive is not being detected as I suspect, you could just replace it and reinstall all of your software. ...
